Company mission

1upHealth's mission is to transform healthcare data to create positive change that affects all areas of the industry for the better.

Role

Who you are

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience building highly performant and scalable backend solutions in a modern language (e.g., Typescript, Python, Java, Go, Scala)
  • Led initiatives operating within a platform organization providing solutions for engineering teams as customers
  • Experience with access control patterns and when to apply each (e.g., RBAC, ABAC)
  • Expertise working with both relational and non-relational databases (e.g., Postgres, ElasticSearch, Redis)
  • Expert understanding of securely designing and consuming RESTful APIs
  • Experience integrating with OAuth2, OIDC, SAML solutions
  • Experience working in a modern cloud environment (e.g., AWS)
  • Container/Orchestration experience (e.g., Docker, Kuberentes)
  • Ability to communicate clearly with stakeholders of technical and non-technical backgrounds

Desirable

  • Open Policy Agent experience
  • Keycloak Experience
  • Front end experience (e.g., React, Vue)
  • Previous healthcare technology experience (e.g., FHIR)
  • Hands-on experience working in a CI/CD environment

What the job involves

  • We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the team responsible for building the services that host and serve an enterprise platform
  • The team’s mission is providing engineering teams at 1upHealth solutions for Authentication, Authorization, and Auditing, allowing them to scale effortlessly and focus on their core business logic
  • Define and own the technical direction of our solutions
  • Identify strategic needs within the team and organization
  • Design and deliver high impact projects
  • Partner with Product and Engineering counterparts to break down ambiguous initiatives into technical deliverables
  • Collaborate with members across the organization to improve our products and services
  • Advocate for engineering best practices throughout the organization
  • Be a mentor and role model for engineers throughout the company to foster an environment of growth and collaboration

Our take

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is a global healthcare interoperability standard currently being adopted by major organizations across the US (including the US government) to facilitate the electronic exchange of healthcare information. 1upHealth is a health-tech company helping new organizations adopt the standard by converting data to FHIR, and facilitating data sharing and analytics.

The federal government is pushing the healthcare industry to adopt FHIR-based APIs, which will be to 1upHealth’s benefit. The market appears to still be relatively unpopulated in the US, and as 1upHealth facilitates the entry of others into it, they may carve out a real and lucrative niche. Regulations that push for adoption are already coming into play - since 2021, for example, providers are obliged to make specific data available through FHIR APIs.

This market seems yet to mature in the US, and the 2017-founded 1upHealth could stand to make real progress alongside it as it does. The 2022 release of the company's "SQL on FHIR®" product signifies its commitment to continued improvement, and makes it one to watch in the developing space.
